Old Top Ten Lists | Old Randomly Thinking | Old Good Bad Worse

Better late than never

An e-mail with the subject "FW:" wants you to know that a Canadian newscaster recently said:

"This Canadian thinks it is time to speak up for the Americans as the most generous and possibly the least appreciated people on all the earth."

This was originally broadcast June 5, 1973 by Gordon Sinclair, for those of you still worried about the Vietnam War.

That Nostradamus e-mail about the third war starting "when the big city is burning" is fake too, by the way.

Welcome to the U.S.

Reuters Headline: Canada Ships Dog Boots to New York Disaster Site

Just watch where you put it

Signs of the end of the world:

For the first time in the short history of the Internet, popular search engines report that "sex" dropped off their lists of top 10 search terms in the days following the attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon. It dropped all the way to #17.

Too much information

Skywalker707 wants you to know:

Butter is good for the mind, body, and rubbing of the soul vigorously.

Thanks for the info.
